Experience of the stay
The Fairfield by Marriott Gifu Seiryu Satoyama Park is accessible in about 20 minutes by the community bus from JR Mino-Ota Station.
The bus ride costs 100 yen. (For detailed information, please refer to the website of the Mino Kamo City Planning Department).
Upon entering the hotel, you will find the check-in counter immediately, and the hotel staff will kindly provide information about nearby restaurants and local attractions.
In the lounge exclusive for staying guests, there are a microwave, an ice maker, and a self-service coffee stand.
I was thrilled to find instant miso soup available!
In the shop in front of the front desk, you can purchase local beer, Gifu wine, and cup noodles, all of which can be paid for with cashless payment methods like transportation IC cards and PayPay.
The room is clean, and although it only has a shower booth, it allows for a quiet and comfortable time. Even though it only has a shower booth, there is a hot spring Satoyama no Yu just a 2-minute walk from the hotel.
Experiences during the trip
1. Unagi restaurant "Uwokan"
Take the community bus from Mino-Ota Station and get off in Kamogawacho to find the historic unagi restaurant "Uwokan".
You can dine in the restaurant, which has a sense of heaviness, or you can take out. I made a reservation by phone in advance and ordered unagi bento.
After visiting the birthplace of Shoyo Tsubouchi nearby on foot, I toured Ota-juku on the Nakasendo and enjoyed my unagi bento at a bench by the Kiso River.
The unagi in the bento came with sauce and sansho, and it was grilled to a crispy skin like Nagoya's hitsumabushi, making it incredibly tasty and a wonderful flavor! I definitely want to dine in the restaurant next time.
2. Gifu Seiryu Satoyama Park with Free Admission
Just a 30-second walk from the hotel is Gifu Seiryu Satoyama Park, which is free to enter.
Inside the park, there are sweet shops and soba restaurants, as well as a petting zoo and a zip line, and an adventure park.
There were many families staying there.
There is plenty of parking available.
3. Satoyama no Yu
There are seven hot springs and a sauna. If you show your Marriott card key, you can get a special deal (2000 yen tax included) that includes admission, a beer, and a meal of your choice at a discounted rate for guests.
Inside the facility, there is also a dining area where you can purchase local specialties.
Please note that there is a refundable 100 yen cash deposit for the shoe box and locker.
The admission fee is cash only. There are no rental towels, so please bring your own towels from the hotel room.
The bath is equipped with body soap, rinse-in shampoo, and a hair dryer.
While enjoying the autumn foliage lights, you can taste the fresh air in the open-air bath, looking up at the beautiful night sky, allowing you to quietly relax in the hot springs.
